A friend of mine posted this on Facebook. Didnt know it before, but you can use your breastfeeding supplies like a pump or nipple cream or other supplies as a tax deduction! Here's the link she posted. (Sorry if I'm late to this game)
Best to use FSA, if you have it, if reading this correctly...you still need 7.5% of your income to go towards medical bills before it becomes a deduction....and I think this year it is 10%. We had a huge medical deduction last year thanks to the back to back ivf cycles.

Good to know! I planned on ordering my breast pump today but then it dawned on me that I should wait until the 2nd so I can use my FSA since the model I want is considered an "upgrade." Now I'll just keep all my receipts for 2014.
